A lot of the visuals I throw at the club are glitchy and distorted... its my style, and i've ammassed a nice library of glips (glitchy clips). I don't have anything datamoshed, but I'm starting to learn the technique so that I can use it at Marcella. The below is a first test of the technique... nothing purposed just a few clips moshed.
Oh Hai! I'm Nate and I live in the sometimes beautiful, always exciting, city of Buffalo, NY. I'm not too focused on this blog, but you'll probably end up reading something about Buffalo, my toy obsession, burly bears, club drama, Google Android, and some damn good music. This is my blog. Read it. Cheers.
